The current &emsp change affect only one line in SGML.c/put_special_unicodes().
No problem to change it back but hope &emsp should be consistent with &mdash.
Attributes were not changed last year but occasionally they expand
&emsp to two spaces from from def7_uni.tbl - try test/spaces.html.
I am not sure whether there is a context where _this_ string
might be collapsed (and require fixing),
but probably we had even less requests addressed for this problem :)
